ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had an excellent telephone call with his Norwegian counterpart Jonas Gahr Store and commended Norway’s decision to recognize the State of Palestine in the wake of Israel’s atrocious military aggression.
The two leaders welcomed the recent decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), ordering Israel to stop its heinous actions in Gaza and Rafah.
Both Pakistan and Norway firmly believe that the United Nations backed two-state solution offers the best path to lasting peace in the Middle East.
PM Shehbaz Sharif hoped that the bold and principled decision by Norway, Ireland and Spain would encourage other countries to follow suit in recognizing the statehood of Palestine.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed optimism that the international community pays similar attention to the plight of brave, innocent Kashmiris who are also facing brutal occupation and oppression for the past 76 years.
The two leaders also exchanged views on Pakistan-Norway ties and expressed a shared desire to further strengthen their friendly and cordial relations, especially in investment and trade.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he is grateful to the Norwegian Prime Minister for complimenting the Pakistani diaspora in Norway who are a bridge between both nations.
PM Shehbaz extended a warm invitation to Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store to undertake an official visit to Pakistan at his earliest convenience.
